The Oscars are no longer just a film event, and the golden statuettes are no longer a mirror of the best that Hollywood has achieved in the past year. No, the Oscars have become another round in the drum of the American propaganda gun. This year's American Sniper is a good example. What is a biographical story with so many holes and hiding the truth doing among the cream of the crop? And not only is the Academy racist, because it only awards a black person every few years so that it can have peace for a while, it also no longer awards statuettes to the best films.

Anarchy is a film about dirty cops, drugs, arsonists and forbidden love. Topics chewed over a hundred times. But if it is based on the work of William Shakespeare, ''Cymbeline, King of Britain'' (Cymbelin), if it has the right mix of actors, a terrain where we can break through the clichés to the story and message, and if the strong cast is at the service of the play and don't hunt for as many viewers as possible, we get a movie worth our time.

Duff is a lighthearted but genuine comedy that delves into the deep dark, teasing labels that stuck with us in high school. It is an adaptation of the 17th-year novel of the same name by Kody Keplinger. You won't hear the term duff (''Designated Ugly Fat Friend'') in our school corridors, but there is no lack of similar signs that marked a good part of life for many people.

The guarantee for the success of the film Crimson Peak should already be the acting names: Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam and Jessica Chastain. If we add to this the fact that it was directed by the Mexican giant of cinema, Guillermo del Toro (Pacific Rim), and that with the film he returns to his home genre, horror, then there is no script that leaves us disappointed after watching the film.

The Oscar is the ultimate recognition for achievements in the field of cinematography, and in the almost century-long tradition of awarding the Oscars, there have also been rare and tragic events that have become part of the history of the Oscars.

The Man From UNCLE is Guy Ritchie's first film since 2011, when he graced us with Sherlock Holmes. This time he's back with a new spy flick, an adaptation of the British TV series of the same name from 1964. And if we haven't bought you yet with the fact that Madonna's ex-husband took on the task of transferring from TV screens to the big screen, we will certainly have you with the story set during the hottest years of the Cold War, when CIA and KGB agents join forces.

Despite today's (and some excellent) red carpet look choices, the film icons of Hollywood's golden age are still held up as examples of how to achieve an unforgettable red carpet glow.
Sony will try to swallow the bitter pill that it swallowed with the comedy The Interview with the film Aloha, bursting at the seams with the biggest movie stars. Bradley Cooper, Alec Baldwin, Emma Stone, Rachel McAdams, Bill Murray and John Krasinski are here. But as experience has taught us, a star bouquet does not necessarily translate into a great film, but the comedy Aloha promises that we will make our way through familiar faces to a story with weight.
